We hear his ringtone is Michael Ignatieff doing his 'Rise Up!' thing on repeat.
In a move that sent shockwaves through the Parliamentary press corps, Prime Minister Stephen Harper's cellphone number was given out to journalists travelling with him on his tour of Central and South America, although his staff are calling it a mistake. Harper's mobile number appeared on a laminated list of contact information for his touring coterie that was distributed to reporters at their hotel in Costa Rica. For anyone who's ever had the pleasure of trying to track down a quote from the Prime Minister's Office, this is the El Dorado of contact information, as typically they make you wait a few hours before sending an e-mail with a dull, uninformative line or tow that you probably could have written yourself. Alas, the digits will be retired today, what with the trade mission ending, but hopefully somebody took the chance last night to order a dozen pizzas under his number, or called him to ask if his refrigerator was running.
